Picture this: You just spent the day bombing down the mountain on some of the best snow you’ve seen all year. You’re tired and happy — but awfully thirsty. It’s time for a warm cocktail and a soak in the hot tub.
Lucky for you, Rocket Vodka and Tahoe Blue Vodka — a pair of Tahoe-based distilleries — are whipping up some of the smoothest vodka on the West Coast, perfect for pairing with everything from fruit juice to coffee. Bottoms up!

2 oz. unfiltered apple juice
1 oz. pear juice
Pinch of nutmeg
Star anise
Thin apple slice
